Re: Splitting an extension based on OS

Please don't assume, as you seem to be doing, that if $^O isn't MSWin32 then you're running on Unix. You might be running on Cygwin, or VMS, or RISCOS, or DOS, or OS400. If you have Unix-specific code, then check that you're running on Unix, by using Devel::CheckOS.

`<voice style='McEnroe'><c>You ... cannot ... be serious!<c></voice>` A total of 42 modules to compare `$^O` against 40 strings totalling around 200 chars. What an exercise in pointless, useless over-engineering.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

So don't use it if you don't like it. And expect bug reports when you get the answer to something as simple as "is this a Unix system" wrong.	[reply]
